SoundGrid Server (SGS)
The SoundGrid Server is the “number cruncher” that performs the audio processing. Audio is
streamed from the card to the server, gets processed at low latency, and is streamed back to
the card, according to the audio connections established using the MultiRack SoundGrid host
application.
